A member asked:

Can methotrexate eliminate periods permanently when injected for treating ectopic pregnancies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not permanent : It can temporarily decrease the cycle but it is not ever permanent. You need to discuss this with your physician so you get to the appropriate evaluation and consultation
